Do You Want Giggsy To Start In The Final?

Ryan Giggs has possibly endured his worst season, in terms of form, in his 17 years of the club, which can be expected considering he turned 34 this year.

Manchester United claimed their 10th title in 16 years yesterday, the 17th in the clubs’ history.

He’s Won It 10 Times – Giggsy and Fergie

When United won the league last season, I was made up to find a clip on YouTube of the dressing room celebrations from our lads.

Does Giggsy Deserve All The Stick?

Incredible, Half A Lifetime Playing For United

Ryan Giggs has been on the receiving end of some criticism from reds this season, after below par performances.

Giggs: I Leave Liverpool Rivalry To Neville

During what was otherwise a rather disappointing season, with just the League Cup serving as consolation for silverware, a big highlight was the last minute winner against Liverpool at Old Trafford.

Giggs: We Just Didn’t Show Up

If ever there was a day for Manchester United to pull out a performance, it was during the 50th anniversary memoriam game played on derby day. The added effect of the match being played at home should have been all that was needed. Yet for some reason, United never got going yesterday, and deservedly lost [...]

United More Special Than All The Rest

All fans think their club is special. There’s got to be something that keeps the fans coming back week after week, win, lose or draw, travelling the length of the country, to get behind their team.

Ronnie Gets the Limelight but the Defence Deserve the Praise

Cristiano Ronaldo has proved he is not just a one season wonder, smashing his form of last season, scoring 22 goals in the 24 games he’s played in. He’d scored 8 goals in as many games last season, in a year which saw him claim a clean sweep of the individual domestic player awards. He [...]

Giggs To Get 101 At Anfield?

Ryan Giggs became the eleventh player to score one hundred league goals for Manchester United on Saturday.

United’s 11th For Our Number 11

Ryan Giggs walked out on to the Old Trafford pitch today in the pissing down rain, showing the captain’s armband shortly, knowing he is now only twenty three games away from equalling Sir Bobby Charlton’s appearance record for the club. However, this record which he will surely beat over the next few months isn’t the [...]

Is It Time To Drop Giggsy?

  Ryan Giggs is not having a great season and I have been surprised somewhat at how easily he has kept his starting place in the team. With Nani emerging as a good winger, I’d have liked to see him rewarded with more time on the field this season. He is lacking in several departments, [...]

Does Giggs Deserve A New Contract?

Ryan Giggs has been receiving a hammering from his own fans recently, just as talk of him renewing his contract has come about. I read comments from Giggs in the MEN on Friday (which referred to Giggs as the winger who had eight Premiership titles to his name. Where have they been?) and whilst I [...]
